Chapter 369: Eternal Chaos
Northern looked at them as they all hurtled towards the bank of the river where he was with Mr. Fluffy.

And he couldn’t help but think.

‘Damn, they are quite desperate, aren’t they?’

Northern had a dark expression on his face as they got closer. He slowly slid down from Mr. Fluffy and gently patted the beast.

“Buddy, you sit out this one. I know you want to show me how much you have grown. But I also know you’re tired.”

He smiled and faced the monsters,

“Let me show you how much I have grown.”

He extended both his arms and folded them into fists, then pushed one leg forward subconsciously muttering

“Chaotic Footstep”

‘There’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since I used Chaos Sword Art with Gengar…’

Northern breathed steadily and circled his hands in the air, slowly coating them with ominous black flames.

‘It’s called a sword art but the kind of synchronization and force I got from using it with Gengar was stronger than what I got from using a sword.’

Although it was also quite harder to use it with Gengar compared to using it with a sword.

But the results were more explosive.

That had left Northern thinking about the true nature of this said Sword Art.

Could it be an art subjected to Formlessness or was it Formless because his [Formless] attribute had an effect on it since the moment he gained it.

Although he didn’t quite know what it was, but he sensed it was the latter.

He had long gained [Formless] attribute before coming in contact with the Vestige of the Chaos Prince. Plus, it was even awarded to him by Ul when she still had access to his soul.

Northern breathed steadily.

This fight was to test truly what it was of the two. Whether the ability is truly Formless or just purely affected by [Formless].

There was an astonishing effect that [Formless] gave his Heritage that made him so confused about the true nature of the Heritage itself.

‘I guess it’s called Formless for a reason…’

Northern fixed his eyes on the creature as it got closer, it paused for barely a moment and with a deafening battle cry, lunged itself forward with the force and speed of a battering ram.

Northern stood unfazed, both hands arched, one upward, one downward, almost marking two circumferential arcs of a circle.

Black flames dancing from both his fists.

And as the monster entered his zone, Northern took his time, slightly opening his mouth to let out a steamy breath as he pushed a leg forward, wedging a punch into the monster’s stomach.

“Chaos Art, sub form, FALLING STAR”

As the punch connected with the monster’s midsection, a pulverizing burst of flames suddenly exploded.

Northern was already hurling his other fist, before the monster could even react to this one.

As the first connected, the second also did, forming a terrifying combo attack.

“Second sub form, COMET FURY”

Immediately the second one connected, a series of swift, blurring punches followed.

Northern began to mercilessly batter the monster, each of his fists exploding a torrent of flames that licked off the air and drowned the light around them.

Meanwhile, the minions had managed to also climb the shore, although their number had been drastically reduced by the horror below the river.

Immediately Northern saw them crawling out with Chaos Eyes, two of his clones shot out of him and darted in that direction.

Not for a moment did he stop his merciless battering. Without a space in breath, Northern pulled one arm backward, flames dancing proudly on his fist.

“Third subform, SILENT REQUIEM”

His fist was almost unseen and absolutely silent. It was like a little trace of white light, moving quickly in a pitch darkness.

Only to be noticed after leaving the darkness and connecting into a much larger force, illuminating it with the unseemly flames it harbored within.

Only in this case, flames dark and vicious like embers of the night itself.

As Northern’s fist punched into the monster’s midsection, it folded like a piece of paper, eyes bulging.

[Use First Form Ultimate, Eternal Chaos]

Northern’s eyes widened a little bit as it all connected. The reason why it was called a Subform and why he had never actually used the main form clicked.

This was all a combo attack that needed to be successfully executed undisturbed for the main attack to be evoked.

Happy at his progress, a little smile framed Northern’s lips as he restructured his hand again.

Northern’s expression turned frightfully focused as he gathered an insane amount of void essence in his arms, causing the black flames to dance even wilder.

With a deep breath, he unleashed:

“First form Ultimate, ETERNAL CHAOS”

As he uttered these words, the air around him seemed to distort.

The black flames that had been dancing on his fists now engulfed his entire body, creating an aura of pure destruction.

Northern’s body moved with a dark and ominous grace, his movements fluid and precise.

He launched himself at the already battered monster, his fist connecting with its chest.

The moment of impact seemed to stretch into eternity.

For a split second, everything went silent. Then, chaos erupted.

A massive explosion of dark flames burst forth from the point of contact, engulfing both Northern and the monster.

The shockwave rippled outwards, causing the very air to shudder.

When the dust settled, Northern stood tall, his breathing heavy but controlled.

The monster, what was left of it was a skeleton that slowly crumbled to dust, four soul cores falling to the ground.

[Congratulations, you have killed an Apex Hellion]

[You have gained 16 talent fragments]

‘It was Apex? Wow…’

And just like that, unbelievably, Northern killed an Apex Hellion.

‘I really have gotten stronger I guess…’

A wide smile appeared on his face as he looked at his hands.

He really wished he had discovered this while using a sword or Gengar at least.

But still, this was not bad progress.

Just in time as he finished the leader, he also saw other panels.

[You have gained…

[You have gained….

Northern turned to Mr. Fluffy, beating his chest with a proud grin plastered to his face.

“See, I have gotten quite dependable haven’t I?”

The beast growled happily tapping its forelimb on the ground joyously.
